NH GOP STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR LYNCH’S BUDGET

Concord – Jack Kimball, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party released the following statement today regarding Governor John Lynch’s budget.

“John Lynch must be hiding in the massive hole he has dug us into. Clearly he didn’t get the message on November 2nd. The irresponsible spending has to stop.”

“The governor’s budget clearly demonstrates he is out of touch with his own departments and the people of New Hampshire. It is packed with hidden fees, inflated numbers and broken promises. It continues his out of control spending habit.”

”The taxpayer’s of New Hampshire don’t deserve to pay Governor Lynch’s tab. After years of the Democrats reckless spending and tax increases it is wrong to pass the burden onto New Hampshire families during these hard economic times.”

“I have full faith that Speaker O’Brien and Senator Bragdon will fix this mess in Concord and return fiscal sanity to our state. One thing is clear: Governor Lynch has got to go.”
